Description

Preserving food at home is vital to eating in a seasonal, sustainable, low-waste and, most importantly, utterly delicious way. Everyone can master the art of preserving with this essential book on canning, which provides a one-stop resource.

Whether you have foraged hedgerows, picked produce from your own vegetable garden or allotment, or searched out the best seasonal buys in the supermarket or market, this book contains more than 100 delicious recipes for preserving fruit and vegetables, meat or fish. Emma Macdonald gives clear and comprehensive instructions for curing, drying, pickling, bottling/canning, crystalizing and jellying; as well as recipes for all kinds of jams, chutneys, cordials, fruit liqueurs, terrines, cheeses and butters.

Every classic is covered, including: gravlax, confit chicken, candied peel, quince cheese, mint jelly, onion marmalade, mango chutney, sloe gin and piccalilli.

There are many others, some of them centuries old, many of them with a modern twist, such as Banana and Date Chutney and Grapefruit and Elderflower Marmalade.

Emma also includes expert tips on troubleshooting and information on all the equipment you will need.

Pick up your cheesecloths and straining funnel and get preserving!
